- Well there is several solutions to that. You could always take the
- hard disk out of the Atari and install in the 486 machine but this
- would cripple a great machine.
-
- We had a simular sort of think here where we wrote a serial server
- for the megas. However it was not perfect and tended to be a bit
- unreliable.
-
- There is several other systems tried ka9q for slip? you could batch
- the slip requests ?
